Chapter 303: Rising to the Occasion (59/103)

In the early morning, Kyiros put on his armor and helmet, and walked majestically into the tent from the inner bedroom, where all the generals of the Prussian regiment had gathered, waiting for Kyiros's orders.

Sitting in his place, Kyiros looked around and said in a deep voice: "It's dawn, it seems that everyone is resting well, today we are going to start a battle to conquer the walls of Vienna, you can say what you think." ”

As soon as these words came out, several generals below glanced at each other, and a general of the unified army walked out of it.

"My lord, the rain is too heavy, and we feel that we should hold off on the offensive and wait until the rain has subsided a little before we start the attack."

The generals present had apparently discussed and decided something before Kyiros arrived, and as soon as he said this, everyone else looked at Kyiros's face.

Kyiros nodded, looked at the other generals, and asked, "Are you all thinking the same way?" ”

Seeing Kyiros ask, all the generals present nodded in agreement, the current situation is really not conducive to the attack, for the sake of victory, it is understandable for the generals to have such a decision.

It's just that Kyiros's face sank, but he was no longer as irritable as yesterday, and he just said in a cold voice: "You guys, have you forgotten what we saw yesterday? ”

As soon as these words came out, everyone present immediately fell silent, and they could all see that Kyiros's face was not right, and this question obviously did not need them to answer.

"Don't forget, our time is running out, and it's no exaggeration to say that the Emperor's reinforcements could come at any time, and it is even possible, they have now surrounded us and are ready to kill them all!" ”

There was really no truth in such a statement, and some generals with a more straightforward temperament couldn't bear it, so they whispered: "No, no, it's only been five days, and it stands to reason that it will take them at least two days to get over." ”

The voice was small, and I didn't know if it was for fear of angering Kyiros or if I didn't have confidence in what I was saying.

However, Kylos was still enraged, and he suddenly glared at the general, and then beckoned directly to the two guards into the tent.

"Take him down for me! Punished for disturbing the morale of the military! ”

"Yes!" When the two guards received the order, they immediately stepped forward and escorted the speaking general to the outside of the tent.

Disturbing the morale of the army was a great crime, and the punishment in the Prussian barracks was twenty military whips, which were not ordinary cowhide whips, but whips specially made of thorn strips.

"Spare your life! What am I guilty of, Lord Kyiros! What am I guilty of?! The escorted general shouted unconvinced, his tone full of annoyance.

He was the commander of the Prussian legion, and he was also one of the nobles of the Duchy of Prussia, and it was an insult to him and his family to whip him so freely.

However, Kyiros was unmoved by his pleas for mercy, and just stared at the other generals in the tent with a sinking face, as if asking who wanted to accompany him.

Immediately there was silence in the big tent, and all the generals bowed their heads, pretending to be a stone.

"Good! Since there are no objections, then let's reorganize our army and prepare for the attack! Take the city of Vienna in one fell swoop! ”

With that, Kylos stood up and strode out of the tent.

At this moment, a herald suddenly broke in, and when he saw Kyiros, he knelt directly on the ground, held a letter in both hands and said: "Report to your lord, there is news from the Saxon military camp that the rain is too heavy to attack, let us also suspend the offensive!" ”

Without looking at the letter, Kylos grabbed it and crumpled it into a ball, and then said to the herald, "Go and tell the Duke of Billund that if he is a bastard, and that his Saxon horsemen are all cowards, he will obediently huddle in his room, and tremble with fear of thunder and rain!" And we, the Prussians, have nothing to fear! ”

With that, Kylos strode out of the tent and plunged headlong into the rain outside.

When the herald received the order, he hurried in the direction of the Saxon camp, and as a dutiful herald, the words of Kylos would reach the ears of the Saxons word for word.

The other generals in the camp no longer had any objections, and they all sorted out their equipment and walked out of the camp, and each of them scattered back to his own regiment and began to mobilize soldiers.

The whining horn sounded, but it was quickly drowned out by the sound of the rain falling, and every Prussian general shouted loudly, sometimes having to shout an order twenty times in order to make all the soldiers under his command hear the order.

After about half an hour of reorganization and several times more effort than usual, the Prussian regiments finally gathered all together and gathered in front of the camp.

The torrential rain hit the soldiers, flowing through the gaps in their armor into their underwear, and after a week of swimming, then out of the trouser legs below.

Only the armor of hoplites and hoplites could keep out all the rain in a torrential rain, and the other soldiers could do nothing about it, so they could only grit their teeth and endure the cold and the beating of the rain.

The catapults were not pushed out, and in such weather, the powder kegs could not be used, and the catapults became waste, and it would be the stupidest thing to use them to throw stones.

In the same way, the archers' accuracy will be greatly reduced, the rain will sometimes blind their eyes, the flight path of the arrows will be disturbed by the raindrops, and the combat effectiveness of the entire archer army will be reduced by more than 50%, and they will almost have to walk to the foot of the city wall to accurately shoot the arrows to the top of the city.

However, Kylos had a solution, as he assigned each archer a dagger so that if they could not use a bow and arrow, they could immediately turn into infantry and charge the city to fight the enemy at close range.

The same was true of the musketeers, who were no better than a stick in their hands on rainy days, and their short knives were distributed to them, and they were among the first to storm the walls of the battle formations of Kylos.

While the Prussian regiments were organizing their formations on this side, the sound of battle horns was also heard in the Saxon barracks on the other side.
